Drop a perpendicular..... then using Pythagoras theorem, find h in terms of x (x=base - remaining length) for both the triangles which are on right & left side to the perpendicular height.... both answers are in terms of x, now compare h to find x, then find h ultimately.

Area of a triangle = 0.5*base*perpendicular height
Area of a triangle = 0.5*base*perpendicular height
An isosceles triangle has 2 equal base angles and its height is perpendicular from its apex to the centre of its base
The area of any triangle is: 0.5*base*perpendicular height
To find the height of a triangle, you can use the formula: height = (2 * area) / base. The base of the triangle is one side of the triangle to which the height is perpendicular. The area can be calculated using different methods depending on the information available, such as using the lengths of the sides and Heron's formula or using the base and the height.
